The following procedure shows you how to configure the storage settings to replicate data to the warm tier in the AWS IoT SiteWise console.

To configure storage settings in the console

  1. Navigate to the AWS IoT SiteWise console.

  2. In the navigation pane, under Settings, choose Storage.

  3. In the upper-right corner, choose Edit.

  4. On the Edit storage page, do the following:

  5. For Hot tier settings, do the following:

    • If you want to set a retention period for how long your data is stored in the hot tier before it's deleted, and moved to the service managed warm tier storage, choose Enable retention period.

    • To configure a retention period, enter a whole number and choose a unit. The retention period must be greater than or equal to 30 days.

    AWS IoT SiteWise deletes any data in the hot tier that's older than the retention period. If you don't set a retention period, your data is stored indefinitely.

  6. (Recommended) For Warm tier settings, do the following:

    • To opt in to warm tier storage, select I confirm to the opt-in of warm tier storage to opt in for the warm tier storage.

    • (Optional) To configure a retention period, enter a whole number and choose a unit. The retention period must be greater than or equal to 365 days.

    AWS IoT SiteWise deletes data in the warm tier that existed earlier than the retention period. If you don't set a retention period, your data is stored indefinitely.

    Note

    • When you opt in for warm tier, the configuration displays once only.

    • To set hot tier retention, you must have either warm or cold tier storage. For cost efficiency and historical data retrieval, AWS IoT SiteWise recommends that you store long term data in the warm tier.

  7. Choose Save to save your storage settings.

In the AWS IoT SiteWise storage section, the Warm tier storage is in one of these states:

  • Enabled – If your data existed before the hot tier retention period, AWS IoT SiteWise moves the data to the warm tier."

  • Disabled – The warm tier storage is disabled.
